A note from Summers:
Lint In My Pocket – Artillery On The Ridge is a blog that, selfishly or not, was created to share my poetry; however, it’s become more of a journal, a place where I simply spill my thoughts regarding poetry, books, literature, etc. It’s also recently become a place to express my keen interest in America‘s Civil War. Visit – see if a simple man’s mind has anything worthwhile to offer.
